🚨 DEAL CONFIRMED: Manchester United Hijack Chelsea Deal to Sign Bryan Mbeumo on 6-Year Contract – Medical Scheduled for TODAY
Manchester United have officially completed the signing of Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo, successfully hijacking a deal that had been linked with Chelsea and Newcastle United. The Cameroonian international has reportedly signed a 6-year contract and is set to arrive in Manchester later today to undergo his medical assessment at Carrington.
💼 The Inside Scoop: How United Won the Race
According to The Chronicle, Newcastle United were in advanced negotiations and willing to pay over £50 million to secure Mbeumo. Chelsea were also monitoring the situation, especially with their need to strengthen their flanks after an injury-hit season. However, Manchester United stepped in at the last minute with a financial package too lucrative to ignore.
The key factor? Wages. Mbeumo, who currently earns approximately £45,000 a week at Brentford, has now been offered a deal worth over £180,000 a week — more than quadrupling his current salary.
🔥 Why Mbeumo?
At just 24, Bryan Mbeumo has grown into one of the most versatile and consistent attackers in the Premier League. Known for his:
- 💨 Blistering pace
- 🧠 Tactical intelligence
- 🎯 Clinical finishing and creative link-up play
- 📊 10 goals and 9 assists in the 2024/25 season
Mbeumo adds much-needed quality to Manchester United’s wide options — especially given the inconsistent form of current forwards like Antony and Jadon Sancho, and the uncertain future of Marcus Rashford.
📅 Medical Today – Unveiling Soon
Mbeumo is expected to arrive in Manchester this afternoon, with his medical scheduled for later today at Carrington. Once completed, Manchester United are planning a formal unveiling before the weekend, likely alongside the announcement of another major signing.
Sources suggest Mbeumo could even feature in pre-season friendlies next month, as Erik ten Hag looks to integrate him early.
🗣️ Reaction from the Camp
Manchester United sources have described Mbeumo as a “priority target” for new sporting director Jason Wilcox. One club insider was quoted saying:
“We moved quickly and decisively. He’s a player with a Premier League-ready profile and a winning mentality — exactly what we need to get back on track.”
⚽ What This Means for United’s Summer Plans
With Mbeumo locked in and another striker deal nearing completion, this move signals the start of a very aggressive and ambitious transfer window for United. Their aim? Restructure the squad completely after a dismal 2024/25 season that saw them miss out on European football altogether.
Expect further movement in defence and midfield in the coming weeks as the rebuild gathers pace.
Congratulations, Manchester United fans — your second summer signing is here, and it’s a big one.
